I see from Tom's tweets Monk shot its last episode today. Congrats on great run!

Kudos, Tom!

Also, I see that you've recently started to exchange tweets with a guy named John Worcestershire, or something.

I doubt he'd have time for the show if that was to happen. The SNL schedule is pretty hectic.

Of course, there's only about 20 episodes per season, but that's ~20 less Best Showses per year, and nobody wants that.

Think: Willy Wonka as directed by David Lynch.

Oh sorry, that's the AP Mike Dream Factory.

Monk is great. I say this with no sarcasm: it gives my mom and I something cultural that we both can share. I think it may be the only thing.

(That gag in the theater with the veteran was hilarious.)

What's Monk?



Oh, the Bitty Schram vehicle?







































I've seen every episode.

Highlight to read (camouflaged as potentially irritating to our fair leader):

In the most recent episode, did anyone else think Tom may have played the cab driver who whiskeds Monk away when he was escaping from Natalie and Sharona?

I will have to rerecord it and see.

I love Monk. And it was Monk that brought me to The Best Show (via Seven Second Delay). I'll be sorry to see it go.

Though since the BBC stopped showing it's hard to find out when new episodes are showing. I'm up to season 6 so I'm way behind!

But congrats to Tom and everyone involved. It will go down as a classic detective show.

Tom, I know you're not going to do this, but I'll say it anyway: get Shalhoub on the show! He's nothing to do with you - you work at Consolidated Cardboard!

I read somewhere that Tony Shalhoub is a member of the 'F.O.T.' What is the F.O.T. (and what does it stand for)?

F.O.T.= Friends of Tom. Crack a WFMU radio show much?

Hilarious!
